DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Misfueling with fuels of higher sulfur level can
have the following negative effects:
• Shorten the time interval between aftertreatment
device service intervals (cause the need for more
frequent service intervals).
• Adversely impact the performance and life of
aftertreatment devices (cause loss of
performance).
• Reduce regeneration intervals of aftertreatment
devices.
• Reduce engine efficiency and durability.
• Increase the wear.
• Increase the corrosion.
• Increase the deposits.
• Lower fuel economy.
• Shorten the time period between oil drain
intervals (more frequent oil drain intervals).
• Increase overall operating costs.
• Failures that result from the use of improper fuels
will not be covered by warranty.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
0.0015 percent (≤15 ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur
is required by regulation for use in
engines certified by regulation for use in
engines certified to nonroad Tier 4
standards (U.S. EPA Tier 4 certified)
and that are equipped with exhaust
aftertreatment systems.
European ULSD 0.0010 percent
(≤10ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur fuel is required
by regulation for use in engines certified
